In the Sourlands of New Jersey, a rampaging deer herd, invasive plants, and wholesale habitat destruction threaten the local ecosystem. Farmers in the surrounding valley battle against high land prices, high property taxes,and increasingly erratic weather patterns. A group of local engineers searchesfor new ways to save energy and stop global warming. Pay close attention,and the challenges facing this community look a lot like the challenges facingecosystems, farmers, and energy visionaries everywhere.

The message of cautious hope presented in the film is just as universal:To start solving complicated environmental problems, we need to forgo quickfixes and start restoring the natural world — and people's connection to it --from the forest floor up.
